General Description
The Zen Datalogger is a stand-alone data
logging device. It has logging for up to 30
separate channels, including 16 on-board uni-
versal inputs.
Among the most flexible data loggers on the
market, the Zen Datalogger is ideal for con-
necting to a mixture of analog and digital
sensors. The inputs are all individually isolat-
ed and EMC hardened, making it fit for the
most demanding industrial environments.
Data is logged to a 1GB Micro SD card, for
easy data retrieval and transport.
Our free WorkBench software enables easy
configuration of the unit, as well as down-
load and display of logged data. Each unit
can be viewed by 8 simultaneous users over
the LAN.

Zen Datalogger
Data Logging Control Station
The Zen Datalogger supports a range of
interface options including RS232, RS485,
RS422 and Ethernet, for simple integration
with PLCs and SCADA systems.
It can be set up as an analog multiplexer, uti-
lizing the onboard dual analog outputs, or
as an alarm and control station, using the 16
inbuilt setpoints. These setpoints can trigger
up to 16 relay contacts if connected to the
optional ZEN-RIO (sold separately).
The setpoints can also trigger SMS and email
alarms if the unit is connected to an external
cellular modem and loaded with the modem
plugin (found in WorkBench).
